Chapter 136 He Yun is arrested
The Headless General was captured, and the Qianniu Guards took great pains to remove his disguise and armor, and then sent him back to Di Renjie.

Only to see the true appearance of the headless general, his face was like the bottom of a pot, his eyes were like copper bells, his pupils were of different colors, and he had a short beard on his chin. He did not look like a person from the Central Plains.

Zhao Ji and Di Renjie looked at each other and reminded: "Sir, it seems that he is not a Han Chinese."

Di Renjie nodded and asked seriously, "What's your name? Who ordered you to kill people?"

The headless general just stood up straight and didn't answer.

Di Renjie frowned and said in a bad tone: "Didn't you hear what I asked you?"

The headless general still just stood there, saying nothing.

Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, both feeling very surprised.

"Master, this is strange. These two are so stubborn and refuse to speak. Why don't we torture them? If we don't use torture, I'm sure they won't confess." Zeng Tai said anxiously.

Zhao Ji secretly complained in his heart, it was not that the other party didn't want to recruit, but this headless general seemed to be a mute and could not speak.

Di Renjie thought of something and asked Li Yuanfang to check the headless general's left arm, but no plum blossom was found.

"He is not an internal guard..." Di Renjie muttered to himself.

Li Yuanfang was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Sir, what's going on?"

Di Renjie said in a deep voice: "This man is just a killing tool. He is not an internal guard. He is just being used to silence people."

Li Yuanfang nodded and asked, "Now that he can't speak, our original plan to ask him about the culprit behind the scenes has failed. What should we do now?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "Take this man away first. Tomorrow, put on the armor and explain it clearly to the villagers to dispel the ghost and god theory."

Qianniu Guard agreed and took the headless general away.

Zhao Ji said at this time: "Sir, the villains sent out the headless general at this time with the intention of killing Uncle Pang Jiu, but they didn't expect that we had already found out the truth of the matter."

"The suspected yamen runners and subordinates are all under surveillance by my Qianniu Guards. The Yongchang County Magistrate should not have passed on the news before his death, so the mastermind behind the scenes may still be nearby, waiting for the result of the Headless General's actions. We can search for him."

Zeng Tai nodded first, then kept shaking his head: "Where are we going to find someone in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Ji said confidently, "As the ancients said, an old horse knows the way. The headless general rides back and forth between Enjizhuang and his hiding place every day. His strange horse must be familiar with the road."

"We can follow the horse, and at the very least we can find the hiding place of the Headless General. Maybe we will find something unexpected there."

Zeng Tai was skeptical and asked, "Can horses really recognize the road?"

Li Yuanfang smiled and nodded: "Horses are smart and can indeed recognize the road."

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie decided, "In that case, let's give it a try and see."

So Zhao Ji loosened the reins of the giant horse and gently drove it for a distance. Then Ma Er really began to slowly return along the way he came.

Zhao Ji, Di Renjie and his team followed behind without turning on any lights, and gradually came to a ruin.

Li Yuanfang remembered the route and said excitedly, "Sir, it seems to be Xilin General Temple!"

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai recalled the bad memories about the corpse.

The General's Temple had been burned into ruins and there was no place to hide anyone. Everyone saw a dark, fat figure from afar.

The dark figure obviously noticed Di Renjie, Zhao Ji and the others and prepared to escape.

However, Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang flew over and stopped He Yun who was trying to escape, one from the front and one from the back.

Li Yuanfang looked unfriendly and stared at He Yun: "Sir He, I didn't expect to meet you here." When He Yun saw Li Yuanfang, his face turned pale and he couldn't say a word. He never expected that Di Renjie and others would find this place.

At this time, the Qianniu Guards had already lit the torches. Di Renjie walked up to He Yun and said, "Sir He, can you explain why you are here in the middle of the night?"

"I...I..." He Yun stammered, unable to answer.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "Let me answer Lord He, you are waiting for news from the headless general, right?"

He Yun was stunned for a moment, then he understood: "Hasnur was caught by you, right?"

"It turns out that the headless general is called Hasnur." Di Renjie understood immediately.

He Yun was caught red-handed. He was supposed to be in the capital, but why he appeared in the General Temple in the middle of the night was inexplicable.

He felt that he was arrested because of the betrayal and betrayal of the Yongchang County Magistrate.

Therefore, He Yun had nothing to hide and confessed: "Yes, the headless general's name is Hasnul, and he was a groom who followed the small country in the Western Regions when they paid tribute to him with fine horses three years ago."

"This man was born with supernatural powers and cannot speak, so he is just right for me. And that horse is called Hun Qing'er, a hybrid of a Ferghana horse and a Western Region horse. There is only one of its kind in the world, and there will never be another one."

"At that time, Hasnul and the mixed green horse were both in my Flying Dragon stable. So, I secretly stole them out, dressed them up carefully, and disguised them as evil spirits, creating the illusion of evil spirits' revenge. I didn't expect you to see through me."

Di Renjie sneered: "God is watching what we do. The law of heaven is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. You have accumulated a lot of blood debts, and now you can say that retribution has come."

He Yun was dejected and sighed, "Such an ingenious plan was seen through. It was indeed God's will."

Di Renjie continued to ask: "Were you the one who manipulated the 'Bloody Eagle' case that occurred in the four provinces and ten states?"

He Yun confessed: "Yes."

Zhao Ji asked, "Is this a cleansing operation against the inner guards under the guise of evil spirits?"

He Yun nodded and said, "You can say that."

Di Renjie asked again: "What is your ultimate goal? Who is the mastermind behind this?"

He Yun was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly realized that Di Renjie had not yet learned the whole truth. He originally thought that the Yongchang County Magistrate had already confessed all of this.

He Yun took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "If you want to know the truth from me, it's impossible."

Zhao Ji asked knowingly, "I really want to know what kind of master is this that can make you follow her wholeheartedly."

He Yun opened his eyes, then closed them again, pretending not to hear what Zhao Ji said.

Zhao Ji showed a dangerous smile: "You killed so many internal guards. If Her Majesty knew about this, how would she deal with you?"

He Yun suddenly opened his eyes and gasped in fear: "You, you want to hand me over to the emperor?"

Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head: "Why, are you scared? If you are willing to cooperate, you will die for resisting arrest. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then I will have no choice but to hand you over to His Majesty."

"Do you know how Xu Shide from your inner guard died? I tell you, he was torn into pieces by five horses and his body thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves. What about you? Was he cut into pieces? Or skinned alive? Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

He Yun was so frightened that his soul left his body, and his body was shaking like a sieve. He whispered, "No, I, I can't tell you. If I tell you, I will die a more miserable death!"

Zhao Ji gently patted He Yun's shoulder and kindly reminded him, "Master He, think about it carefully. You will feel relieved if you tell me. If you don't tell me, maybe your own people won't let you go."

"Once the news gets out that you've been in jail or missing for two or three days, you'll be silenced."

He Yun was startled, then shook his head in despair and said, "I can't say. It's the same death, but dying at the hands of your own people might be a quicker experience."
